As someone who likes both Cartoons and Anime equally, I have yet to find someone who doesn't get offended by me saying that. They're just animated projects at the end of the day, just made differently through cultural norms. I'll enjoy both like I'll enjoy a burger & ramen, both are good and tasty, don't care which one's better as long I'm munching down

That's it, I'm just writing this because I'm bored

Now, who says those things aren't cartoons?

Engineers, film makers, critics

You?

Yes

Everyone?

Well, obviously not you.

People who don't speak English as a first language and therefore imply nuance that native speakers don't?

Correct. Particularly the French inventors of the medium. There they are animated designs.

Does a flat refer to a tire or a place people live? Which definition is wrong? Is it possible the answer is neither?

Calling all sparking wine champagne isn't wrong. It just makes you sound like an idiot.

What does the word gay, or coke, mean? Is that today's definition?

The problem is that you are wanting to refer to all LGBTQ+ people as gay and all soft drinks as coke.

Do you think the definition for the word cartoon can't or hasn't changed?

I don't disagree that it has expanded from print to film. The problem is that it hasn't expanded as far as you think.

Why do you think your opinion on that has any bearing on the fact of it?

Ditto.

However, I have reinforced my opinion with links and counter arguments. So far your bluster is only hot air.

Go on. Show me the winners of the "Oscar for best Cartoon".

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion


This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
